Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct tense use (past for childhood) and avoid filler words like “umm” and “uh.” For example, say you loved cycling, mention who with, where, and one specific memory or frequency. Keep it under five sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes. I had a bicycle when I was a child and I loved riding it around my neighborhood with my friends. For example, we would cycle to the park every weekend and race each other along the river path, which helped me become confident on two wheels.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 56.0Gợi ý: Give a direct topic sentence and then support it with specific reasons and a linking word. Avoid repetitions and filler sounds. Use correct comparative forms (cheaper than other transport) and add another concrete reason or an example (e.g., traffic, fitness). Keep it natural and within five sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country. One reason is that they are cheaper than other forms of transport, and additionally they help people avoid traffic in crowded cities. For instance, many students and workers cycle to save money and time during rush hour.
× Yes, I had umm, when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had one when I was a child.
The sentence is missing the object 'one' (referring to a bike). This is a sentence structure/content omission rather than a tense error; however the tense 'had' is correct. Add the object to make the sentence complete and clear. Suggestion: always include the noun or a substitute (one) when referring to something mentioned in the question.
× Uh, I used to love cycling around my neighborhood with my friends.
✓ Uh, I used to love cycling around my neighborhood with my friends.
This sentence is correct. 'Used to' is followed by the base/gerund depending on meaning; 'used to love cycling' is natural and grammatically correct. No change needed.
× When I grow up, I'm continuing to cycling and uh.
✓ When I grow up, I'll continue cycling.
The original mixes present simple 'grow' with an incorrect progressive future construction 'I'm continuing to cycling'. For future intent after 'when I grow up' use 'I'll continue' or 'I will continue' plus the gerund 'cycling'. Also remove the unnecessary 'to' before 'cycling'. Suggestion: use 'will' + base verb for future actions and use 'continue' + -ing when indicating ongoing action.
× Yes uh bikes in my country are popular and uh I think the I think uh main reason is uh uh that they S the cheapest uh than other transport uh also you.
✓ Yes, bikes in my country are popular, and I think the main reason is that they are cheaper than other types of transport.
Multiple problems: missing verb 'are' after 'they' (present tense issue), incorrect comparative form 'the cheapest than' (comparative/superlative misuse) and awkward phrasing. Correct structure uses 'they are cheaper than' to compare two categories. Also add 'types of' for clarity. Suggestions: include the correct form of 'to be' for present simple, use 'cheaper than' for comparisons (cheapest is superlative and does not take 'than').
